The source files were two images: the photo of a model which would be placed on the poster, and the photo of the stepPARFUMS product.

First of all I worked a little on model: cut it out, added blur on the edges (2 px) to get not so sharpen borders. The girl should harmonize with the orange box, so I decided to impart orange tint to her body. I made tone down using slider Saturation in the Image/Adjustments/Hue/Saturation window, increased contrast using Image/Adjustments/Brightness/Contrast, and adjusted sliders in the Color Balance window (Image/Adjustments/Color Balance) to get salmon color. There are just some details remained. I added redness in her cheeks using semi-transparent brash with blur edges and mode Overlay, then increased brightness of the lips and temples. Top has the same tone with the body, so I selected it and added chilled colors using Image/Adjustments/Color Balance. Then I made hair and body semi-transparent. Here is the result:

As a next spet I started working on background. I’ve found a photo of the sky with clouds, image with sun rays, added orange gradient using overlay modes Overlay and Color Burn. And I got following background:

Finally, I cut out bottle of perfume, cleaned up some mistakes and spots, selected corresponding flower, made several copies of the flower, added orange tone and made it more contrast. Final touch to the poster is the company logo in the corner. That’s it!

The article became very popular, and there are a lot of people digged it. But many people asked to upload PSD sources of buttons presented in article, because of hardship with Photoshop. Here you can find PSD files and use them without any restrictions anywhere.

Just click on button you like to download PSD source:

But nowadays there is one very efficient and great source of knowledge and experience sharing – video. Especially if this video has been created by professionals in your field of interests.

Just yesterday I came across really cool site with growing collection of videos on various technical topics which has according name – Best Tech Videos. There are lots of interesting links to high quality videos carefully selected by site owner. I think this is great idea to create such resource to help people to find useful videos today when all Internet is littery by dumb videos about “how to make a bomb with Coke and Mentos” (BTW, interesting thing, I was shocked 🙂 ) or “My funny dog”. So, I would like to say thanks to site authors and will look forward for more videos about web sites and graphics design!

I want to show how to do this in Adobe Photoshop CS2.

First we will open photo in Photoshop, discolor it using Image/Adjustments/Desaturate:

Using Polygonal Lasso tool will select area, which will be painted over, but previously set Feather value to 1px to get avoid sharp edge of lips:

Now will select Brush tool and set following options:

I choosed following foreground color for the lips: BC2805. Then I painted over lips and removed selection. We can enlarge brush size and paint cheeks a little using the same color. We got attractive girl with red lips:

I puzzled how to do this a long time, and found solution finally, it’s not so hard. Now I wanna to share my experience with community.

Illustrator CS2 has powerful feature called “Blend Tool”, and I’ve used it.

For beginning, let’s create some vector object, for example star.

We will put a circle inside it. Then we will select both object, choose Blend Tool and click at the circle and star vertex. As a result we will get something like following, depending on previous settings:

Will change settings to following values:

When objects are large, we need more steps. Now we can change outline color, opacity to get more satisfactory results. Let’s expiriment! Here is several examples of what I got using Blend Tool:

I think, this trick will be helpful for you one day.
